But I Smile Anyway…

Colleen’s Syllabic poetry challenge is #Poetschoice this week.

Black
Brethren
I stand here
Right by your side
Not just supporting
But, as your equal
As you are mine
You matter
Brethren
Mine

Ritu 2020

I’m not sure what to call this, again, 1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1 format, but my verse shows my support to the #BlackLivesMatter campaign.
